Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Little Boy has all the hallmarks of a bad Christian film. Namely, racism, bigotry, intolerance, and in this case, the deaths of 200,000 Japanese civilians all brushed aside with the flimsy "It's ok because it's FOR JESUS" excuse. Oh, and Paul Blart is there for some reason too...

The entire film is a little boy trying to use telekinesis to bring his father home from war... yes seriously. While the movie is one of those 'Christian' productions about faith, it's like the film equivalent of a watery chicken soup coated in buttercream frosting; it's supposed to be good for you, but it's cheaply made and coated in so much sweet stuff that it's hard to finish and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Also, it is completely unrealistic and misleading; God is not a genie in a bottle who grants wishes, and having faith doesn't get you everything you want. If all that doesn't bother you, watching a small child use racial slurs for an hour and a half probably will. As stated by other reviewers, not one adult (not even the priest trying to help the boy) tell him that referring to anyone as JAP isn't a very Christian thing to do. (never mind the disrespecting of his elders) Especially when said little boy is being bullied and called names himself throughout the entire film. (dwarf, midgit etc.). And if THAT doesn't set off your alarm bells then the fact that this film (and the title character) are NAMED after the codename for the atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima should; 66,000 people were killed as a direct result of the Hiroshima blast, and 69,000 were injured to varying degrees. Of those deaths, ONLY 20,000 were members of the Imperial Japanese Army. Not cute, not a wholesome or realistic story, and not worth the time.

So, this is a "cute" story about a little boy who's determined to do what may be needed to bring his father back from the war. He hears in church that even a mustard seed-sized faith may make you capable of moving mountains, and he takes it literally (and he proved he was somehow capable of it...). A priest gives him a list of "tasks" which are required of him to bring his father back (but only if it's God's will, the priest says). Apparently, the intention of the priest was to stimulate the boy to be sympathetic to other people's suffering, but the boy takes everything literally. Overall, it's a "cute" story, apart from the explanation of the boy's nickname (and the title of the movie...) "Little boy" came out to be the name of the bomb which the Americans dropped over Hiroshima!!!!! So, in a way, the "little boy" was responsible for the end of the war, and this was the most celebrated fact in the whole movie... Are you kidding me?? Do anyone think this is cute or something like it? A bomb over Hiroshima?? For me, this "little boy" link demonstrated an extremely bad taste! I could have scored the movie as 7, but after that, 4 was my score. It was horrible!

This movie was amazing. I simply loved it. This is a wonderful movie of faith, love, hope and endurance. I wish everyone would love as much as this little boy. A little boy who learned he only needed enough faith the size of a mustard seed to change the world.I thought the acting was wonderful. The young actor who played Pepper did such a great job. I laughed, I rallied for him against the bullies, I cried. I thought the town setting was wonderful, almost like you were living there. I also loved the other story lines in the movie. From learning who you real enemies are to dealing with bullies and insecure people, to building true friendships to staying faithful to your spouse. I also loved the list that Pepper was given by the priest to help build and execute his faith. I think we all need this list. A list that helps us remember its not about us. It never has been.
